Itinerary
Arrival, Panaji Riverside Walk & Latin Quarter
Arrive in Goa and transfer to your hotel in Panaji (Panjim). After check-in, take a gentle orientation walk along the Mandovi River promenade and the charming lanes of Fontainhas (Latin Quarter) — a concentrated area of Portuguese-era houses, colorful facades and quaint cafes. Evening optional short boat cruise on the Mandovi to see the city lights.
Tip: Keep some local cash for small purchases in Fontainhas and street snacks.
Old Goa Heritage & Pilgrimage Circuit
Full day exploring Old Goa—the heart of Goa's pilgrimage and colonial history. Visit the Basilica of Bom Jesus (housing the relic of St. Francis Xavier), Se Cathedral, and the Church of St. Cajetan. Learn about Goa's Catholic heritage and attend a short guided talk about the history of Christianity in the region. Lunch at a local eatery featuring Goan Catholic specialties.
Note: Dress modestly when visiting churches; shoulders and knees should be covered.
Village Homestay Experience & Cooking Class
Transfer to a nearby Goan village for a curated homestay experience. Participate in a hands-on Goan cooking class with your host family — learn to prepare traditional dishes like Goan fish curry, bebinca or vegetarian xacuti. Stroll through the village, visit a local temple or chapel, and enjoy an evening meal with the family.
Highlight: This night is your authentic homestay — interact with locals, learn about household traditions, and enjoy homemade food.
Feni Tasting & Distillery Visit, Market Walk
Drive to a small-town distillery to learn about and taste Feni (Cashew or Coconut spirit) — the iconic Goan liquor. A guide explains traditional distillation processes and safety. After the tasting, visit a nearby market to shop for spices, cashew products and souvenirs. Evening free to relax at your North Goa accommodation.
Important: Feni tasting is moderate; sample responsibly. Drivers will remain sober.
Beaches, Flea Market & Sunset at Anjuna/Baga
Spend the day exploring North Goa's beaches—choose between Calangute, Baga, or the bohemian Anjuna. Visit the famous Anjuna Flea Market (seasonal) and enjoy seaside cafes. Optional water sports available. In the evening, watch the sunset from the beach and dine at a beach shack serving fresh seafood.
Tip: If you plan water sports, carry swimwear and quick-dry clothing; book in advance during peak season.
South Goa Relaxation & Cultural Stops
Drive south to the serene beaches of Colva or Palolem for a relaxed day — beach walks, coconut palms and quiet cafes. En route, stop at a temple or small church to continue the pilgrimage theme, and visit a spice plantation for a short tour. Evening at leisure with a coastal dinner.
Note: South Goa offers a calmer pace compared to the north; great for sunset photography.
Departure from Goa
After breakfast, check out and transfer to the airport or railway station for your onward journey. Depending on your departure time, a short final stop at Panaji for shopping or a riverside café may be arranged.
Tip: Confirm transfer timing the night before and keep travel documents handy.
